What a beer. Definitely cannot speak to the ins and outs of the taste nuances as well as others but they all come together wonderfully and this is the best Bellwoods beer I have had yet - and that is saying a lot!

Ye gods this is a good beer! It’s a cloudy blond, blah, blah, blah. Malty goodness nose with soft sour grapes nose, yada, yada. But the taste! Great soft malt profile, with this gentle, smooth sourness that has a creamy (as in dairy) richness, that is just spectacular. Hints of vanilla, cream, sour grapes, lemon, and hay malts. Lovely zing to the after. This is a good beer.
Labeled Batch 6th. Oct 10th. 2014

Bottle from the brewery -bottled May 26, 2014 - Batch 5. Very pale hazy gold with a one finger white head. Nose has lots of funky Brett with moderate wine and wood notes and a light fruitiness in the background. Light pear sweetness to start with a dry wine and cherry tartness in the middle. Light peppery splice in the finish. Medium light mouth with active carbonation. Nice and well balanced and the tartness is well controlled.
